Chimneys - Accessories - Part 7: Rain caps - Requirements and test methods
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for rain caps that are used as components, subject to flue gas, in order to prevent rain entry into the chimneys. Rain caps already tested together with system chimney products or other chimney components, e.g. terminals, are not covered by this standard. Rain caps incorporating a bird guard are also included. It also specifies the requirements for marking, manufacturers’ instruction, product information and evaluation of conformity.
Abgasanlagen - Zubehörteile - Teil 7: Regenhauben - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren
Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Regenhauben fest, die als dem Abgas ausgesetzte Bauteile verwendet werden, um vor Eintritt von Regen in die Abgaszüge zu schützen.
Regenhauben, die bereits zusammen mit Produkten für System-Abgasanlagen oder mit anderen Bauteilen einer Abgasanlage geprüft worden sind, z. B. Aufsätze, fallen nicht in den Anwendungsbereich dieser Norm.
Sie legt außerdem die Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung, Herstelleranweisungen, Produktinformationen und Bewertung und Überprüfung der Leistungsbeständigkeit fest.
ANMERKUNG Regenhauben nach dieser Norm sind sowohl für die trockene als auch für die nasse Betriebsweise geeignet.
Conduits de cheminée - Accessoires - Partie 7: Chapeaux pare-pluie - Exigences et méthodes d'essai
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences et les méthodes d'essai pour les chapeaux pare-pluie utilisés comme composants, en contact avec les fumées, afin d'empêcher la pluie de pénétrer dans les conduits de fumée.
Les chapeaux pare-pluie déjà soumis à essai avec les composants de conduits système ou les autres composants du conduit de fumée, tels que les terminaux, ne sont pas couverts par la présente norme.
Les chapeaux pare-pluie comprenant un dispositif anti-volatiles sont également inclus.
Elle spécifie également les exigences pour le marquage, les instructions du fabricant, les informations sur le produit et l'évaluation de la conformité.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for rain caps that are used as
components, subject to flue gas, in order to protect against rain entry into the chimney flues.
Rain caps which are part of components of a system chimney or other components of a chimney such as
terminals, are not covered by this European Standard.
!Rain caps which have not the same opening on all sides or do not have at least the same shape and
cross section on the opposite sides are not covered by this European Standard."
It also specifies the requirements for marking, manufacturers’ instruction, product information and
attestation and verification of constancy of performance (AVCP).
NOTE Rain caps according to this standard are suitable for both dry and wet chimney applications.
